IdleOff gathers auxiliary engine power from utility trucks as they are being driven, creating an energy reserve that powers flashing safety lights for up to 12 hours while trucks are parked during roadside repairs. The system's battery (or dual battery) charge replaces power otherwise supplied by idling the engine, saving approximately one gallon of gas per hour, according to EPA estimates. An optional solar panel generates a controlled trickle charge to the auxiliary cell panels for up to one week with daily use. The CPU performs self-diagnostic analyses for operational and error status feedback, the results of which are stored for 90 days.
